Failed RTA CCM Test? Chassis Repair to Pass

Failed the RTA CCM test? In most cases the chassis can be repaired. We measure the car on our CAR-O-LINER system, straighten the chassis back to factory dimensions, give you a printed before-and-after CCM report, and you take the car for the re-test. The CCM check costs 200 AED; the repair price is confirmed after the measurement.

A failed CCM (Computerised Chassis Measurement) result means the testing centre found that some control points of the body are out of factory tolerance. It does not mean the car is finished. We regularly repair cars that failed the chassis test in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, for owners paying at their own expense.

Why cars fail the CCM test

A previous accident that was repaired badly — panels were replaced, but the chassis was never straightened.
A used or imported car with hidden accident history — the damage did not show in the background check, and the owner only finds out at the test.
A light impact that looks harmless — the bumper and panels can look perfect from outside while a frame rail or mounting point is bent underneath.
Corrosion or old structural repairs around the suspension mounts and subframe.

How we get your car ready for the re-test

Send us the test result on WhatsApp. A photo of the RTA / testing-centre CCM report and a few photos of the car is enough for a first opinion.
CCM check on CAR-O-LINER — 200 AED. We measure the underbody against the manufacturer’s data and see exactly which points are out and by how much. After this you get a fixed repair price.
Chassis straightening. The car is anchored to the bench and pulled back to factory dimensions. If a part is torn or too weak to straighten, we tell you before replacing it.
Final measurement and printed report. You receive the before-and-after CCM report showing every point back within tolerance.
Re-test. You take the car back to the testing centre with the report.

If the re-test fails on the points we repaired, bring the car back and we will correct it at no extra cost.

Cost and time

CCM check: 200 AED.
Repair: depends on how many points are out and whether parts need replacing — the exact price is given after the check, before any work starts.
Time: most cars are ready in 1–3 working days.

FAQ

Can a chassis that failed the CCM test be repaired?

In most cases, yes. A bent chassis is straightened on the CAR-O-LINER bench back to factory dimensions and confirmed with a new measurement. Only when a structural part is torn or badly corroded does it need to be replaced — we tell you this after the check.

Another garage said a chassis that failed CCM cannot be fixed. Is that true?

Not as a rule. Whether a chassis can be repaired depends on the actual measurement, not on the fact that the test was failed. Bring the car for a CCM check and we will show you which points are out and what it takes to fix them.

How much does it cost to repair a chassis after a failed CCM test?

The CCM check costs 200 AED. The repair price depends on how many points are out of tolerance and whether any parts need replacing; we give you the exact price after the check, before starting work.

How long does it take?

The CCM check takes about an hour. Most chassis repairs for a re-test take 1–3 working days.

The bumper looks fine. How can the chassis be bent?

Bumpers and outer panels can absorb an impact and look undamaged, or they may have been replaced after an earlier accident, while the frame rail or mounting point behind them stays bent. Only measurement shows this.

Do you prepare quotations for insurance companies?

No. We repair at the owner’s expense and do not issue insurance quotations.

I bought a used car and only found out at the test. What should I do?

This is very common with used and imported cars. Send us the CCM report from the test on WhatsApp, then bring the car for our own measurement — we will tell you exactly what needs to be done and the price.
